Lifetime Achievement Grammy-Award winning vocalist-songwriter and revered guitarist Warren Haynes will now be headlining the Blues Stage at Ramblin' Man on Sunday 24th July at Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent. Long recognized as a prolific musician and a cornerstone of the American music landscape, Haynes has brought his virtuosic artistry to three of the greatest live groups in rock history – Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule and The (Grateful) Dead! Also joining Haynes that day will be Nashville trio SIMO (our Vid Of The Day) who Joe Bonamassa brought to the attention of the Mascot Label Group stating that frontman and Guitarist JD Simo (pictured) is “one of the best out there right now”, and with their new album 'Let Love Show The Way' - it’s not hard to see why!

"The brand new 'Revolution' was debuted before we were back on familiar ground with the groovy 'My Lucky Streak' from 'NOY'. Hendrix's amazing 'Voodoo Chile' was almost the only cover on the night - Turley more than doing this epic justice. Two more new tracks 'Rock & Roll' and 'Feeding The Flame' still kept the momentum going before they rounded of an excellent set with two final tracks from 'SOTC' - 'I Wanna Know' and finally the stand-out title track. with its give-away slide guitar intro and riff. Of course Santa checked out who in the audience had been naughty and nice and we all subsequently received an encore prezzie in the form of: Albany Down in Santa hats, the cover 'Let It Snow' (which it did thanks to the snow machine) and the rockin' title track 'Not Over Yet' - which - despite its name - brought proceedings sadly to an end! All in all a great night from two outstanding and very friendly bands - we must really try and celebrate Christmas like this every year!"

The clue regarding the special guests on tonight's Rock On The Ridge show here at 8pm was "You will have to turn it up!" Black Sabbath was suggested but it's even better than that as Shooter are in the studio to discuss a busy year with a bunch of cracking festivals, the release of their critically acclaimed single 'Turn It Up' at the beginning of the year and the release of their debut album 'Recycled Teenagers' in September with an outstanding launch gig at the Half Moon in Putney. Not only that but they recently announced their new Xmas single 'Xmas Time’s a Time to Rock' (our Vid Of The Day) with the immortal line "Well We May Be Old & Wrinkly" (we're not worthy) is available on pre-order from i-Tunes and Amazon for release on Thursday 17th December.

"The irony was not lost on London's 100 Club crowd last Sunday, that just two night's earlier, an attrocity had been committed at another vibrant European Capital city. If that was not bad enough, the fact that the most heinous of the crimes had been committed at a live music venue in Paris made it all the more sickening - if that were possible. So Born Healer's Helen Turner's welcome was all the more poignant as she reflected and thanked the audience for supporting this gig."
